This is the first time Marion Davies has ever shared honors
with anybody, while Bill Haines gave up stardom, temporarily,
to co-star with Marion in this picture.

Rarely have we had such a complete picture within a picture.
Marion and Bill depict most vividly the methods by which aspirants
get into pictures and what they get out of them. Furthermore,
you have never before seen as many stars in any one picture. Their
combined salaries would bankrupt the U.S. mint. Among these visiting
guest stars are Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Norma Talmadge,
John Gilbert, Claire Windsor, Polly Moran, Dorothy Sebastian,
Estelle Taylor, Aileen Pringle and Bill Hart.

The story is not new nor startling but Marion and Bill keep
you laughing. Don't miss this.

Marion Davies gives her impression of how breaking into the
movies is accomplished. But I imagine very few actors would recognize
her experiences as the real thing. Marion is a fluffy belle from
Georgia who chugs into Hollywood with her daddy - an old Southern
Colonel - prepared to sweep the film people off their feet. Only
one story has ever been written about Hollywood, and this is it
- the girl who lets fame go to her head and is brought to her
senses only after learning a terrible lesson. All the lessons
in Marion's picture are taught by means of slapstick. Almost everyone
gets a custard pie in the face before it is over. A lot of good-natured
fun is poked at movies and stars, and a lot of good chances are
allowed to slip by. Marion is clever and zestful, but I prefer
her when she has to spend less time looking like Mae Murray. She
does a lightning transformation from Mae to Gloria Swanson that
is miraculous. You had better see this. Dozens of stars wander
through the scenes. There are glimpses of the inside workings
of the studios. And William Haines is the leading man, so what
more could you want?
